Talbots Charitable Foundation Opens 2006 Women's Scholarship Fund Program

National apparel retailer Talbots, Inc. has launched its 2006 Women's Scholarship Program, a fund that annually awards $100,000 in college scholarships to outstanding women seeking a bachelor's or associate's degree later in life.

Sponsored by the Talbots Charitable Foundation, the Talbots Women's Scholarship Fund annually awards five $10,000 scholarships and fifty $1,000 scholarships to women throughout the U.S. Since its inception in 1997, the fund has awarded college scholarships to 440 women, ranging in age from their late 20s to their early 60s.

Eligible applicants must be women currently residing in the U.S. who earned a high school diploma or GED at least ten years ago; are currently seeking a degree from an accredited two- or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school; and have at least two full-time semesters or twenty-four credits remaining to complete their undergraduate degree.

The postmark deadline for entries is January 3, 2006, or until one thousand eligible applications have been received.

Applications for the scholarship are available at all Talbots U.S. stores and can also be downloaded online at the Talbots Web site: http://www1.talbots.com/about/scholar/scholar.asp
